Haiku
Six Japanese Poems by Christian Joore
1.Haiku Haiku
Occasionally
I write haiku poems but
today I’m too busy
2. Winter Haiku
Long sleepy shadows
Lay ‘cross the pillowed pale
a deer mouse scratches
3. Autumn Haiku
The calm morning lake
draws a loon from its depths
I stir the dead fire
4. Spring Haiku
Dim morning twightlight
lifts bird song from the trees
I walk quietly
5. Summer Haiku
a blue sheet of sky
floats on a hot summer road
the cicadas sing
6. French Fry haiku
The bird is close by
my french fries are delicious
I don’t share today
